The Qingfu Army has now expanded to more than 2,000 people.
Because the army was formed in a short period of time and there were not enough generals, each hundred generals led two hundred troops. It seemed that there were only a hundred more troops, but it was much more difficult to manage them.
Fortunately, there was a lull in the fighting during this period, giving them a chance to slowly adapt.
Li Xia proposed to train together with the Changning Army. In addition to wanting to conquer the Changning Army in the future, Li Xia also urgently needed to learn the training methods of the Changning Army from the Changning Army.
On this day, Liu Jinsuo was still training his soldiers on the school field.
He felt that life in the barracks was very happy. Although they were busy during the day, everyone could play Cuju in the evening. The evening classes were a bit annoying, but they could also listen to some stories.
Occasionally after a break, I can drink and brag with my colleagues.
In short, there are plenty of playmates.
Leading two hundred soldiers was said to be effortless, as long as they drilled according to the regulations every day, and the soldiers were basically able to follow orders and prohibitions. But when they really went to fight and mobilized, Liu Jinsuo felt a little guilty.
It's not like dozens of people, who can just shout with their voices, and have to give orders to be dispatched, so he's not sure.
"Bao Duyan, are you going to fight tomorrow?!" Liu Jinsuo asked Bao San loudly while taking a break.
"Drill again?" Bao San wiped the sweat from his face. He had just personally beaten a few recruits who couldn't stand straight, and he was sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"Otherwise? Practice more and fight more battles, and you will be more confident on the battlefield. As the magistrate said, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war."
"Hey, have you practiced well? You have to play hard all day long. Your team is the worst."
"It's crooked. Look, how straight it is!"
"Go and straighten out those shy people."
Liu Jinsuo stared at it and immediately cursed: "Wang Sanliang, you are blind, and you are your motherfucker! If you can't stand here, go run another hundred laps for me."
Bao San felt a little envious listening to his voice.
Liu Jinsuo looks old, but he is actually only in his twenties. He seems to exert endless energy every day. Unlike Bao San, his muscles and bones have begun to loosen. When the weather gets cold, his eye sockets hurt.
"The magistrate is here, stand still."
"Tsk, that old man looks like he is a high official."
"Excellent soldiers, Feiyu has trained an elite army."
Yang Guo stood on the general ordering platform, looking at the neat rows of teams, unwilling to move away for a long time.
He had to admit that the Song Dynasty had stronger material resources, and the soldiers' armor and weapons were all excellent. And Li Xia's army management was far better than he expected.
Li Xia said: "It's a pity that there are still a few people."
"Don't be afraid if you are young, as long as your mind is strong." Yang Guo still didn't want to look away and murmured.
He was quite familiar with the Mongolian army and the Han army in the Central Plains, and couldn't help but make some comparisons.
"There are also elite soldiers in the North, and there are also many miscellaneous soldiers. The good and the bad are mixed. Not to mention the gap in combat power between Shi Gong and Li Fen. Even the military forces of various historians are also different. Fei Yu's army is obviously better than that of the Northland soldiers.
If you are careful, it is no wonder that you can kill generals many times."
"Mr. Yang has been praised too much. These people still need to be tempered."
Li Xia wouldn't mind spending more time with Yang Guo.
When we talked about territory before, the six hundred miles of mountains and rivers was actually a barren land, which was not enough to make Yang Guo loyal to him wholeheartedly. Only the Qingfu Army was Li Xia's greatest strength.
"I intend to let Duke Yang go to Zhaotong to build a city. Then I will send a group of people to follow Duke Yang south. I will wipe out those who dared not to follow me. Is Duke Yang enough to think that 200 people are enough?"
"It's enough. With these two hundred elite soldiers and recruiting mountain people, it's enough to temporarily guarantee the security of the area. But if the Mongolian army attacks, Feiyu will need to send troops to respond."
"That's natural"
Li Xia glanced across the school grounds, thinking about who to choose to follow Yang Guo to Zhaotong.
"Zhixian." Liu Jinsuo strode over and asked loudly: "How about we practice again? Let me and Bao San fight again."
"Just wait for my arrangements. It's getting late, so let's withdraw our troops and have dinner."
"yes!"
Liu Jinsuo first responded with clasped fists, and then he dared to ask: "County magistrate, you haven't had dinner with us for a long time, do you want to get together?"
"Go ahead, I'll send Mr. Yang's family over soon, and we'll have some wine in the army to catch the wind."
"Mr. Yang?!"
Liu Jinsuo glared at Yang Guo and said happily: "County magistrate, was this Mr. Yang the one who gave us the information?"
"Exactly."
"What a great acquaintance!" Liu Jinsuo said, "Can we tell you the identity of Mr. Yang now?"
"Um."
"Brothers, I, Old Liu, did not lie to you. Last year, I followed the county magistrate into Kaifeng City, and it was this Mr. Yang who gave us important information."
All the generals stood up one after another and said loudly: "Respect Duke Yang!"
"Sit down, gentlemen, please sit down"
"Let me tell you, thanks to Mr. Yang, I know many things about Mongolia." Liu Jinsuo said in a loud voice, "Wuliang Hetai was going to attack. I knew it a long time ago."
"You idiot Liu, can you also understand the information?"
"If you don't understand, why won't you listen? I'm telling you, I won't tell you who the prince of the North is. Sooner or later he will join us in fighting the Mongols."
"I'm afraid you don't know who it is?"
"Haha, I know, but I won't tell you fools." Liu Jinsuo laughed.
He looked very busy. After speaking, he turned to Yang Guo and said, "Mr. Yang, when the magistrate met with you, I was in Kaifeng City. Have you heard about me?"
"Okay, that's good. I heard that."
Yang Guo really didn't know what to say to this rude man, but for a moment he suddenly felt that he would be more comfortable getting along with Fang Yankai.
Li Xia deliberately placed the reception banquet in the army.
He sometimes did not pay much attention to secular etiquette and rules, such as it was not good for literati and military men to sit next to each other.
Whether it's polite or rude, it would be too pretentious to distinguish between them at this time of national crisis.
He even planned to drag Fang Yankai into the army one day and hang out with these smelly men for a few days.
Compared with the civil servants of the Song Dynasty, the northern literati did not have much contempt for the warriors. Although Yang Guo was not used to it, he did not feel offended.
Listening to these loud voices, he gradually felt Qing Fu's welcome to him, and also felt that Li Xia's troops were indeed determined to recover.
"You idiot Liu is right! Let Yang Gong contact you in the future. When the time comes, the northern and southern Han people will attack the Mongolian Tatars together, so there is no need to worry about Shuchuan being difficult to defend."
"Hey, did you know? My grandmother is from Shaanxi"
""
After hearing this, Yang Guo gradually relaxed and said to Li Xia: "The generals are ambitious, and the soldiers are ambitious."
Li Xia turned his head and asked, "What did Mr. Yang say?"
"Say you are very good." Yang Guo said loudly.
Liu Jinsuo laughed.
"Haha, of course, we have won many battles."
That night, it was mostly Liu Jinsuo who was talking about how he would bring Liu Niang back to Hanzhong, Guanlong, and settle down in Bianjing when the war eased next year.
"What's so good about traveling in Lin'an? When I return to Bianjing, I, Old Liu, will be a native of the capital!"
Yang Guo only drank two glasses of wine, but he seemed a little drunk. He laughed and said, "What a person from the capital! I will go back to Kaifeng with you then, go back!"
"Yes, go back!"
Late at night.
Yang Guo's family was resettled in Qingfu County.
Even if you want to go to Zhaotong to build a city, it is not something you have to do in a hurry. You must first get familiar with Li Xia's power, and then make preparations. These will be contacted by the Han family and his son.
Li Xia sent Yang Guo off and was busy for a while before returning to the county government office under the moonlight.
On this trip to Lingxiao City, he didn't see his family for five days, and he missed it a little.
This emotion was not there at the beginning of rebirth.
Walking through the courtyard, around the corridor, and opening the door to the side hall, a warm feeling hit my face.
In the hall, Gao Mingyue and Han Qiaoer were playing with the little bamboo bear. A black skirt flashed past behind the screen. It was Asha who ran away when she saw Li Xia coming back.
Because Li Xia wanted her to help tame the old seedlings in the mountains, she found it annoying, so she had been avoiding him recently.
Of course, Asha has her own mysterious temperament, but she only looks silly in Li Xia's eyes.
"You're back? Have you been drinking?"
"I didn't drink. I wanted to go home first in the afternoon. Duke Yang just arrived. I took him to the camp to meet with the generals."
"Well, we'll feel relieved when we know you're back. You can take care of your own business and don't have to worry about your family."
"I'm afraid I only have some leisure time during this period before the year, so I'll spend more time with you."
"Brother Li is shameless. I haven't seen you for several days, so why do you ask me to accompany you more?"
Li Xia smiled, casually sat down on the blanket, and broke the small bamboo.
Although the things he has been busy with recently are easy, he can feel that his power is building up little by little.
And if there is any major event that needs to be done before the Chinese New Year, it would be getting married.
Turning around, I saw several bolts of red silk already placed on the table. The wedding candles had also been prepared and delivered, and the arrangements would begin soon.
